VT Young Masons Lodge Minutes - August 22nd 2011 - Bennington, VT
After a nice meal of local pizza and fresh greens from Marigold Kitchen in Bennington Young Masons Lodge #111 was opened in form at 7:34 pm with the following officers in their stations:
Chris Allen - W.M.
Jim Baril - S.W.
George Deblon - J.W. p.t.
Tobin Winters - Sec.
Alex Lehning - S.D.
Pat Perrault - J.D.
Chris Murphy - Chap. p.t.
Mike Reed - Marshal - p.t.
After a prayer and a pledge of allegiance to the national colors old business was reviewed. John Barney banquet planning was renewed and a committee set of Chris Allen, Alex Lehning and Errol Hinton to being planning for a time period around next year's Grand Lodge as it would be most appropriate to hold the dinner shortly after new awardees received their honor The committee is due to report back their intial planning, which might only include defining what the banquet is and who to honor at the next meeting.
Sec. Tobin Winters announced there would be a Lodge of Research meeting coming up on Sept. 20th at 467 Main St. in Orwell, VT. See http://vermontlodgeofresearch.com/Fellowship.htm for details.
W.M. Chris Allen announced his home lodge will be holding a Poker Night on Sept. 24th and Octoberfest on Oct. 28th to raise money. See http://washington3.org/ for details.
Sec. Tobin Winters announced he would like members of the Young Masons Lodge to fill the chairs in his District Meeting on Oct. 3rd in Woodstock, VT to promote the Young Masons Lodge. The members agreed and four brothers committed to attend on the spot. A practice was later set for the night before and confirmed with Woodstock Lodge.
The next Young Masons Lodge meeting will be held tentatively on Nov. 28th in St. Johnsbury. This needs to be confirmed with the brothers at St. Johnsbury.
At 8:00 pm the lodge was put at ease to install Bro. Alex Lehning as Senior Deacon as he was unable to attend the Annual Meeting. The installating officers were W.M. Mike Reed and Mar. George Deblon.
Immediately following, Bro. Chris Murphy of Bennington gave on of the most interesting Masonic education talks I have ever witnessed. He constructed a replica model of a Chamber of Reflection. He went in to the history of the Chamber of Reflection, where it showed up in paintings and depictions from around the 1800's forward. There was discussion about the symbolism the Chamber used and discussion on how it could be (and is) used today. A spirited discussion followed for a good 30 minutes at least.
At 9:05pm the lodge was closed in form.
Respectfully submitted,
Tobin Winters
Secretary, Young Masons Lodge #111
